>> harris: new york governor andrew cuomo may be making his first comments today on bombshell allegations he sexually harassed a former aide, lindsay boylan said the governor kissed her on the lips without her consent and suggested playing strip poker. and now new york attorney general letitia james is reviewing a letter from five g.o.p. state senator seeking an investigation. cuomo's office denied her claims. now the group, the foundation set up by hollywood celebrities has finally started an
9:01 am
investigation as well. leading democrats are staying silent despite their own fiery calls to "believe all women." but now justice brett kavanaugh, or then was accused of sexual assault. you remember it, let's watch. >> i believe her. to testify in the united states senate against someone who is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government takes an extraordinary amount of courage. >> i found her very credible. you have to ask yourself, why would anybody put themselves through this if they did not believe that they had important information. >> we are here to show our solidarity. we are here to show our respect for all women who have a case. >> i just want to say to the men, shut up and step up. do the right thing. >> harris: you are watching "outnumbered." we won't shut up but we will step up. i'm harris faulkner in here
9:02 am
today, my cohost emily compagno, new york post columnist and fox news contributor miranda devine. morgan ortagus, congrats on that gorgeous baby girl. and in the virtual center see today, the host of "the next revolution," steve hilton. you will be with me on sunday, "the shot: looking at vaccinations in america." thanks, everybody, good to see you. let's start with the governor of new york and finally some democrats coming on board with, you might want to believe this woman or at least investigated. >> very few and it's a trickle, not a flood and what i really want to do, harris, is start with the first person you started with, the most senior of the people who you would want based on that past statement to come forward strongly in support of this accuser, this victim as
9:03 am
she would say, this person who made these allegations. that's vice president kamala harris because of all the people during that circus, she was the biggest grand stander, the most aggressive in making those arguments, in the committee pressing then-judge kavanaugh. kamala harris has shown that there is nothing more important to her, no principal, and i think she including this abuse allegation that is more important to her than her own political prospects. she used to hearing, the whole circus to pull advance her own political prospects within the democratic party, go back to when she was district attorney in san francisco, one of the most shocking allegations i've ever seen made against any politician in this country.
9:04 am
it's well-documented featuring the victims of child sexual abuse by the catholic church in san francisco, the previous district attorney tried to investigate it, gathered a whole bunch of information, the victims want to the next district attorney, kamala harris to release the information so that they could pursue a civil case. what did she do? she covered it up, she covered up child sexual abuse allegations because she didn't want to upset her political backers, the catholic church in san francisco, that is what kamala harris is all about, there is nothing more important to her than politics and you see it playing out here as well where she will not take a stand as she previously did if it means interrupting support from or to other democrats and it's complete lee disgraceful but unfortunately he is a pattern with her. i think we should all be focusing on the vice president, what is she going to say about
9:05 am
this? >> harris: it's interesting that you would single her out out of all of these women, just because you've got hillary clinton and many others but there is silence and sometimes in the gap, morgan, in the silence when you've been told the rules are that you believe all women and you push for investigations, people begin to look a little bit deeper and steve as he has, from his point of view, as the now-vice president kamala harris. >> morgan: first, harris, emily, thank you so much for having me back, it's great to be back with all of you virtually in these allegations are so serious and harris, i remember several years ago before i went into the trump administration talking to you on "outnumbered" about these issues and one of the things we talked about was how important it was to get the standard rate, what we do about allegations and how we look at them, credibly and seriously for each person and i'm sad to see that that hasn't changed.
9:06 am
because we politicized judge kavanaugh so quickly we started to have a conversation about how do you process on allegation and emily can speak to this from a legal perspective and because we politicized kavanaugh, we never as a society had that discussion, how we talk about these accusations of sexual assault and now the cuomo administration has a huge credibility gap. so while you are trying to believe what the governor and his staff are saying there's that credibility gap because we already know they've lied about covid-19's and now we have to say, why should we believe you on these accusations? >> harris: it's a double whammy, that's a problem when you don't handle your scandals. it rhymes. as steve pointed out i know you are backing up, too, morgan, i thought we were getting to a point as a nation, maybe even as a society talking about what the
9:07 am
next step should always be when someone comes forward. but apparently we got sidetracked by other things. steve, you point to politics, morgan, you point to politics. miranda, what about you? >> miranda: hi, harris, steve is absolutely right to focus on kamala harris because she is the most senior democratic woman and she was a most ferocious when it came to brett kavanaugh. but to coin the old cliche, if democrats didn't have double standards they would have no standards at all. and that counts especially for feminist issues because you see these ferocious feminists like kamala harris, hillary clinton and so on who just went in for the kill without any evidence on brett kavanaugh and are now stepping back and talking about due process. i agree, there should be due process with these allegations. but you can't apply a due only to your own side.
9:08 am
the big problem, though, with democrats double standards which apply across the board is the media. because if "the new york times" and "the washington post" and cnn and msnbc, all the so-called prestigious media outlets only, basically, go along with one side, they are mouthpieces for the democratic party, they don't report the other side, than the public is in the dark, they don't know there are double standards. to us, to conservatives who consume both sides it's so obvious and it's so shameful and you just can't believe that democrats, senior democrats can be so shameless in their double standards. but they know that they will never be called out on it by the only media that they care about. >> harris: you know, emily, i'm listening to miranda there and a story that we know we are familiar with just in the last less than 15 hours or so, cnn
9:09 am
finally getting on record with some of this. i think it was 39 seconds or something like that. and we know from their own reporting that the governor's brother who is shown prime time on cnn, chris cuomo can't interview him at this time, as morgan pointed out, he's rocking two scandal so i don't even know how you get around that. so if the public only hears this from a few in the mainstream media, what are they to make of this? >> morgan: that's the whole tragedy of this and we talk about the entire #metoo movement. that started for women to have their voices heard, accusers have their voices heard. it wasn't a conviction without due process, it wasn't a rush to judgment without working through the facts, i think that's what it was sort of perverted into but originally the simplicity and it lay in getting these voices an opportunity to be heard. when the media only presents one
9:10 am
side it when those voices are still silenced it undercuts the entire movement and to morgan's point, she brought up the approach to this and that's the difference between actual allies ship and this performative activism that we've been hearing from the democratic women that you outlined in the beginning. that's the difference between the selective #metoo and activist showing up like rose mcgowan does every time, not to say that the defendant or the accused is guilty but to say that all voices should be heard. >> harris: yes, exactly, exactly. well, steve wants to start a revolution, maybe we can start one for women and he can lead it. you'd be great. thank you. cpac is well underway in orlando, florida, senator tom cotton is set to take the stage later this hour. we are bringing you all the action live, a fiery appearance
9:11 am
by senator ted cruz. >> there are a whole lot of voices in washington that wanted just erase and they look at donald j. trump and look at the millions and millions of people inspired to win the battle fighting alongside president trump and they are terrified. and they want him to go away. let me tell you this right now, donald j. trump ain't going anywhere. >> harris: plus, president biden facing pressure to boycott the 2022 winter olympics in china. should the world be celebrating in a nation both sides of the political aisle have gone after for so many human rights violations? ♪ ♪ >> china is a brutal dictatorship, and oppressive regime. china does not recognize individual freedom. freedom to worship, speak freely. ♪ ♪ oriasis... ...the itching ...the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine.

♪ ♪ >> emily: fox news alert, president biden ordering his first military action since taking office, the strike in syria last night was in response to recent rocket attacks on u.s. facilities in iraq that it injured five americans and held a foreign contractor, the u.s. air strike targeting iranian backed militia strikes, the pentagon says the strike sends a message of the president will always protect american personnel. but during the trump administration members of the biden team including now-press secretary jen psaki were critical of the u.s. air strike in syria and in 2019 then-candidate biden ripped president trump for moving to withdraw troops from the region. >> the events of this past week have brought syria, initiated in
9:17 am
syria have had devastating clarity, just how dangerous this president is to our national security, to our leadership around the world. and to the lives of the brave women and men serving in uniform. >> emily: morgan, we are so fortunate to have you here with us today for your perspective, what are your thoughts on this? >> morgan: thanks, emily. any day that we kill a terrorist is a good day and i don't like to play politics with foreign policy like we saw happening during the trump administration to us, i think this was the right call by president biden and i'm glad he did it. any time you have these militias that are threatening and attacking american troops, the american president should stand up for those troops. we also have the authorization of military force in 2001, 2002 which is probably the legal justification that the biden administration used for these
9:18 am
attacks against these militias, that's the same legal authority that we used, for example, in the trump administration so unlike my counterparts i'm not going to criticize actions and i agree with them i think it's a good thing that we kill terrorists, it's a good thing that we hold them accountable but the next step, what is the strategy? and that's what former obama officials would say, what's the strategy? you can go after these militia groups which is the right call but if you are going to facilitate, for example, a reported $1 billion payment between south korea and iran for a tankard, that doesn't get you to the end goal of holding around accountable. if you are going to rush back into the jcpoa you are not holding them accountable so my question to the biden administration's good job, great on killing terrorists, i'm all for it but what is your strategy with iran? >> emily: excellent points and can i ask you a follow-up, morgan? this administration is only a
9:19 am
few months old but do you see already a lack of that criticism that you articulated earlier that you encounter during your time in the trump administration in that state department, do you feel now regardless of the strategy that they are in a forgiving environment, supportive environment especially by the media for the choices and decisions they make when both administrations were making decisions in the best interest of this country? >> morgan: i think that's a good point, emily, and we were so used to encountering that sort of criticism constantly for our foreign policy decisions that we just had to have faith and confidence in what my former boss mike pompeo and president trump were doing. and listen, we had results, we saw under president trump we defeated the territorial caliphate which was just growing and expanding and we saw that for three and a half years, we held around accountable. so we had a strategy of maximum
9:20 am
pressure and so far we are waiting to see what sort of strategy the biden administration is going to pursue other than rushing back into the jcpoa which we know it inevitably does lead to nuclear weapons so for me, like i said, i'm not going to spend the next four years spitting spitballs at the administration. if they did something right i'm going to agree with them and i think they made the right call by taking out these terrorists. >> emily: steve, your thoughts? >> steve: i completely agree with morgan and in fact i want to go back to the previous discussion, miranda made the point they are about double standards. of course that's what you expect from the democrats particularly these democrats. kamala harris as i mentioned earlier, joe biden, the thing that's really important about them, they are machine politicians. they don't have strong principles, they do whatever is expedient and that's why it's going to be so easy to find statements in their past contradicting their current actions because they just say whatever is convenient at that
9:21 am
time. let's not be like them, let's be clear about our principles and i think president trump and his team including morgan developed an incredibly clear and important strategy there with foreign policy and intervention in the middle east made we are not going to get involved in endless wars, we are not going to stand for any regime or any terrorist attacking our people and if you do that we are going to hit you hard. not in a way that sends more american troops over there but in a way that really hurts and is simple and quick and effective as a deterrent. that's what president trump pioneered as a strategy, to the extent that this administration followed in those footsteps and i think we should support it. >> emily: miranda, your brief thoughts on the courage of this by journalists? >> miranda: of course, as usual, it trumps everything that comes out of the biden administration. i don't trust whatever pretext they are giving for that syrian
9:22 am
air strike because we know that at their heart the biden administration is bent on pursuing all the old policies and that included regime change in syria which for all his monstrosities, there is some sort of stability there particularly for christians and minorities, to get rid of him perpetuates this endless nine year syrian civil war that killed hundreds of thousands of people and is an indicator that the american first policy that works so well under donald trump is just being jettisoned and we are now heading back into the cycle of regime change, endless wars and by the end of the trump administration we had one year of no combat enough cannot stand. that was something to celebrate, the first president not to embroil america in a foreign war in 30 years and joe biden and his administration are just heading down that disastrous
9:23 am
path that obama did and they just don't seem to have any humility. >> emily: thank you for that, miranda, and you are absolutely right, those who provide service and die in service to this country no-no party. the conservative movement coming together this weekend, top republicans speaking all day ahead of former president trump's keynote address this sunday. how will this weekend set the tone for the 2022 and 2024 elections? stay with fox news for all the best moments of cpac. >> it became so bad in the first place, people put almost an an a religious amount of zeal and support and yes, faith in the crown and therefore in government. that's not where it belongs, we know better.

>> steve: already joe biden and his radicals and administration are already overshooting their policies don't work, they are disasters, they are destroying jobs, stripping our freedom and there is a natural pendulum to politi. >> harris: senator ted cruz tearing into the biden administration at cpac, conservative had lighters in in orlando, florida, this weekend including president trump on sunday are expected to highlight constitutional freedoms and take on what they see as the left's assault on the bill of rights, we expect senator tom cotton shortly. meanwhile listen to what senate minority leader mitch mcconnell says when bret baier asked him about his support for the former president. >> if the president was the party's nominee, would you support him? speak of the nominee of the party, absolutely. >> harris: steve hilton, i come to you first, topline
9:29 am
thoughts? >> well that's interesting from mitch mcconnell, i think you'd expect that, he's a party guy but he's made no secret of his absolute contempt for president trump so i don't think we should take that as any kind of endorsement. i think the story coming out of cpac's big political story of age, actually which is the complete realignment of the parties led by donald trump and the republican party. people talk about a civil war in the republican party, that's ridiculous, that happened four, five, six years ago, donald trump won that civil war with his conservative populism which is gloomy with the party wanted, the republican party is united behind the trump policy agenda. that is what is clearly coming out of cpac, coming out of every poll you see, governor ron desantis made an excellent case for that this morning and it's very clear what that conservative populist trump policy agenda is rated
9:30 am
pro-worker, pro-america, this realignment where it's the republican party that is now the blue-collar workers party, multiracial working-class coalition and you see the democrats now have a party of the rich, the elite, it is a huge shift led by donald trump but it's, if the republicans really understand this and stick to it, exactly as ted cruz just said, we are going to win back those elections in 2022 and in 2024 because there's a big base of support for that multiracial working-class coalition out there in the country. >> harris: you know, morgan, one thing i did not hear mitch mcconnell say in that clip and i watch the interview, the part that really focused in on whether or not he would support the next nominee, he said the party's nominee, he didn't actually say trump's name, does that matter? >> morgan: i didn't catch that nuance, harris, that's why you are so good at your job. i hope whoever our nominee is in
9:31 am
2024, we are going to have people supporting the nominee. we saw in '16 end '20 that happened, a very vocal minority because of what steve just pointed out, you did see a realignment of the party and the one thing i will note, what you are saying and many of these 2020 hopefuls, who are speaking today is that there is this genuine desire not to go back to the former ways of the republican party where you are just promoting the ideologies that were not espoused by the trump administration, i can tell you when my former boss mike pompeo speaks he will also be speaking about the accomplishments that he was able to do under the trump administration and why that type of foreign policy should go forward as we just talked about in the last segment. so i think you're going to see very few people lining up and auditioning as they are coming out for a 2024, i think there's very few people who will be running away from the policies and i think that's what's important here.
9:32 am
there's a difference between the politics and the policies and i really feel our party embracing these sorts of conservative populism and tough foreign policy going forward. >> harris: that's so interesting, representative adam gates of florida matt gaetz of florida told me it as well. it is more about the people and policies, then it is about the politics, that it has to be if they are going to win. fox nation is your ticket to all this weekend's cpac events, the speeches are streaming uninterrupted and there is a daily recap hosted by tomi lahren and lawrence jones streaming on the nation today through sunday and you can get a 30 day free trial with the code "cpac." the man who led president trump's covert testing efforts calling out what he says our lives from the biden administration on vaccines. plus, could the u.s. boycott the winter olympics in beijing?

>> republicans on the hill and including nikki haley are urging president biden not to participate in the chinese winter olympics. >> there hasn't been a final decision made on that and of course we would look for guidance from the u.s. olympic committee. go ahead. >> that was the biden white house leaving the door open to possibly boycotting the 2022 winter olympics in beijing. here is laura ingraham on why america must boycott. >> the following are indisputable facts. china is a brutal dictatorship,
9:38 am
the a repressive regime. china does not recognize individual freedom, freedom to worship, speak freely, petition the government. fact, china has imprisoned and tortured political dissonance, christians and currently more than a million muslims in reeducation camps. so how does china keep its citizens in line? 1.3 billion. through intimidation and fear, that's for sure. and asked a surveillance network. >> emily: morgan i'm keeping the spotlight on you today for your valuable perspective. i wanted to share with you that my best friend's dad was a multi--game metals olympian from hungary and he defected to the united states in the japanese olympics where he then began competing for the united states and meddled for us, he served as an executive on that olympic committee and he was one of the loudest voices against the 1980 moscow boycotting part because of the significant damage and inflict it on the athletes.
9:39 am
after we boycotted moscow, the soviet union and their allies boycotted us right back in the 1984 summer olympics in l.a. are the olympics the global unifier and in diplomacy where we should air our grievances your thoughts? >> morgan: that's a very good point, emily. i would counter that and gave you two things. one is 1936 and one is 2014. in 1936, those olympics legitimized nazi germany where we of course saw the horrific murder of millions of jews and other people. in 2014, the sochi olympics legitimized putin on a world stage. i understand the arguments for supporting american athletes who worked so hard but there is a in
9:40 am
china, mike pompeo, president trump, declared it a. what we are seeing is at least 1 million people who are locked up in camps for the crime of wanting to pursue and be a part of their own faith, part of their own religion. it is the shame of the century, it is a and so by the united states and our allies who claim in europe to love freedom and love democracy and care about human rights to support this olympics and legitimize this chinese communist party and their brutal genocides in china is a tragedy in my opinion. >> emily: miranda, morgan's point about the atrocities committed by china are undeniable but in terms of the forum argument, is it a luxury for a country to be able to boycott and olympics when so many smaller countries depend on it both for the leverage of their outreach and also the economic benefits.
9:41 am
>> miranda: the united states cannot hand china a propaganda victory and be humiliated by standing there at the olympics as sort of a captive audience. it would be an insult to the half a million americans that have died from the virus that came from china that they have not taken responsibility for. so i think what should happen to help the athletes is that the billionaires, google, facebook, amazon should get together, combined their money to create an alternative olympic games, maybe in colorado, winter olympics with enormous cash prizes for the athletes, maybe you could call it the freedom games and make it so alluring that you would attract athletes from all over the world and turn china's olympics into a complete disaster, and an embarrassment for them, a big failure. i think i would be a fantastic message for the world to send to
9:42 am
china to say, we are not going to reward you for all your evils. >> morgan: corporations are trying to do business in china. >> emily: if the united states does decide to boycott his is an easy way out given that we haven't seen good, strong stances that the trump administration took, we haven't seen that from this administration, is this the easier message rather than really disentangling on the corporate side and the tech side so that this country continues engaging there. >> steve: i agree that we need to do, i've long argued that we need to decouple from china completely because we have to realize they are the biggest threat to sand to a world peace and stability in the 21st century, and freedom. if i may, emily, if i could just, you're hungarian olympian point there, my parents are hungarian and my father actually played in the 1935 winter
9:43 am
olympics, the winter olympics and one story i remember him telling me, he was a hockey player, a goalie for the hungarian team and he told me the athletes literally had to change their names in case they sounded to jewish for hitler and his minions to tolerate. i agree with everything especially miranda's brilliant idea about the freedom games, love that. >> emily: and give her that story, steve, thank you for sharing that, i love this entire conversation. it illustrates how often complicated this stuff is and how much personal investment we all have in this so i look forward to the decision the united states makes. former president trump's covid-testings are claims he's had it with the biden rollout. that's next. ♪ ♪ mber commercials with exciting stunts. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance,

so right along the way in every stage of the biden administration have exploited this crisis, lied about it and it is really sickening, we all expected from politicians but there's something really, really low about doing this with this pandemic. >> harris: miranda, what steve is saying is so right at the pace with which we were already ramping up to shots, 700,000 i think by the beginning of january and it's december already. we were already approaching a million, not beyond a million and that's the exact promise that biden was making and that's like me going to the grocery store and saying i'm going to come home with groceries. that's what they sell, you're going to get at least a million because that's what we are doing. >> miranda: it's so shameless and dishonest, joe biden's beach yesterday, i don't know how much he understood but certainly that administration's message and

their strategy and that is to take complete credit for everything that occurred on the coronavirus, particularly the vaccine and it's so graceless, he doesn't have to thank president trump, but he should thank the leaders of operation warp speed who did the most magnificent job of expediting this, the whole idea of choosing six different vaccines and getting manufacturing organized into distribution beforehand in case one of them worked on more than one of them works, coming together of government, private industries, the army, it was just such an american ingenuity attribute and you'd think that biden's administration would want to pay homage to american ingenuity. but the whole strategy, however is much more cynical and
9:52 am
disgraceful than just taking credit for the vaccines. what biden said yesterday was things are still terrible, doom and gloom, you know, stay with me, be depressed, everything is awful at the moment but i'm promise you there will be some light at the end and what he saying is denial of the facts which are that cases are plummeting, the vaccine is working and actually, the economy has all this pent-up demand that's going to explode as soon as people can get out and spend money. so there's no need for this multitrillion dollar, $1.3 trillion stimulus package which is just going to overheat the economy and lead to inflation, there's no need for a doom gloom, joe biden needs that because currently he's only been in office a month, he can't claim credit for the comeback so he has to wait and keep us in misery for another couple months so he can then turn around and
9:53 am
say it was all him and unfortunately because of the way the media is focused, i think he may get away with it. >> harris: you know, emily, are we in a place where we can't acknowledge what someone else has done before we can go on and do something great? blake, are we so stuck on tearing each other down because we may see things different politically that we can't even acknowledge, okay, they didn't start from scratch. and how do i know this? because biden actually said, i tweeted about this, that there was not an existing vaccine until he came into office. look, there's been lots of comments that maybe you misspoke or whatever. december 21st 2020, there's a picture of him getting the shot live on tv. can't we acknowledge each other and then go on without having the same exact politics? why do we have to think the same
9:54 am
before we can say, so-and-so did this and i'm going to do this. just be honest about it. >> morgan: i think reasonable people can end it seems we are hearing the unreasonable voices or unreasonable position and to me what's the value of grace? to me it's a lot as an average, ordinary american i would love to see a commander-in-chief, president that says, to miranda's point, acknowledges the hard work, the ingenuity, the success of the american people that contributed to the vaccine rollout and acknowledge the provable facts that president would set, a million vaccines per day as former cdc director redfield pointed out, he, too said, i'm sick of this politicization, here's how these reasonable facts apply to ordinary americans. the aspect of these teams is so damaging to our psyche in the long run, those of us who are
